Marlon Wayans has been talking up what’s in store for Scary Movie 6, and according to him, the series’ trademark crass humor will target any and everyone.
Talking to Entertainment Weekly, he hyped up the upcoming horror-comedy flick as a “no holds barred and equal opportunity offender. We just want to make everybody laugh, and we don’t care if you’re sensitive. Even sensitive people need to laugh at themselves.” While skewering well-known movies like The Exorcist and War of the Worlds, earlier installments had jokes you probably felt bad about laughing at back then (if you did laugh). This is, after all, how the Wayans got popular back in the day, something he noted by highlighting White Chicks making fun of “Black people, white people, [and] Hispanic people. That’s just what we do.”
If that has your hackles raised, don’t worry: Wayans insisted it’s all the jabs have been done with love, and hoped the jokes in Scary Movie 6 reflect how comedy has evolved in the time since the movies first came out, and acknowledged not every joke is going to totally land. Still, he argued “you have to acknowledge how comedy has changed. Not just horror, but films have changed, the audience has changed, the world has shifted,” he explains. “I think the way to do that is to make the generational gap part of the conversation. […] Just know that we’re not just laughing at you, you get the chance to laugh at others.”
Mainstream goofy comedies got a resurgence with the success of The Naked Gun back in August, and Wayans is hopeful Scary Movie 6 can continue that trend while working as “a great conversation piece that [lets us] sit down and laugh together, over three generations of people who haven’t had great comedy in a long time.”
Scary Movie 6 hits theaters on June 12, 2026.
